So far, so good for Josh Gordon as comeback begins

Josh Gordon is working his way back from his prolonged suspension. The Cleveland Browns wideout is limited to just working with trainers and sitting in on team meetings until next Monday, at which time he can rejoin his teammates on the practice field.

So far, Gordon is proving he can handle the responsibility. For a young man who admitted he abused one substance or another pretty much every day, even playing while intoxicated, that’s a nice first step.

Coach Hue Jackson seems encouraged. He noted Gordon has perfect attendance and has been punctual.

The smiling and good-natured demeanor are important. Being an addict for that long is extremely difficult to overcome, so attitude means a lot. That Gordon is embracing the structure and is upbeat is a very good sign.

It must be difficult for Gordon to be around the team but still not be part of the Browns. He’s going strong through the first step back to being an NFL player, and Browns fans can only hope he continues to make positive steps to getting back on the field.
